Today brings us to a very different day of celebrating. Again as most of you know we have been hoping to start our family for quite some time now, and we have been through the adoption process and have anxiously been awaiting the day when we could welcome our first son or daughter into our family, into our home!
Well on Mother's Day, May 11, 2008, that dream sprang into reality for us as we found out that I AM PREGNANT! We are going to have our first baby! Today is our 12 week mark! Our due date is January 8, 2009. When that test came back positive we were so excited we could barely hold it all in! It was a Sunday morning and our church didn't start until 3:30pm and here it was 6AM and we couldn't sleep a wink! Since it was Mother's Day we decided it would be the perfect time to tell our Mothers, as that would be the perfect Mother's Day gift for them. Both of our mom's have been so supportive of us and have been anxiously waiting to become grandmothers AGAIN!
I went to the doctor the next week and I thought my pregnancy would be confirmed then, but apparently they don't do that anymore. So of course after I went home I had to buy 2 more tests. I figure if I had to be the one to prove it, then I was not going to mess this one up, for sure!! And the next 2 tests were also positive! We were ecstatic, and have been ever since for the most part, at least when my nauseousness subsided for a moment!
Our next doctor's appointment will be on Monday July 11th and we will get to hear and see our little baby's heartbeat! That will be so exciting!!
That is our exciting news for the month!! We will definitely keep you "posted" on the events of our growing family as they happen! Here are some of our moments captured "on film."

You guys are going to be great parents! Congrats!

Yay! This is so exciting. I am so happy for you guys! You're going to be wonderful parents!
As I told you, you have so many people THRILLED for you!! I am soooo ecstatic... does that mean no more adoption profile or are you still considering doing that as well. I would take one of those recordable cards from Hallmark with you on the 11th to record the heartbeat, write a letter to your baby and put it in her (!?) baby book for when she is... expecting her own first child. I need to do that, I was going to that for MAtt for Father's day, but my Dr appointments did not work out timing-wise... i did have a very sweet tie made for him... www.mattcrowshaw.blogspot.com... I will tell you how to do that as well...
We're so happy for you guys- Congratulations!
Congratulations! Your baby will be very fortunate to join you!!
That's great news!! Congratulations!
We hadn't heard the good news yet and it had been a while since we'd checked your blog--what exciting news! Congratulations! Can't wait for more updates.
